SWATCH: OPI Dulce de Leche
Sometimes you can’t go past the simple classics. OPI Dulce de Leche is a soft pinky caramel with the tiniest shot of shimmer. It’s not a high frost or sparkle polish; rather the shimmer just lifts the colour slightly and stops it from looking flat and plastic-looking. Application is up to the usual OPI standard – two ...

MBFW S/S 12/13 – Napoleon Perdis, Goldwell and OPI for Camilla
Circumnavigating the globe on a whim, the Camilla woman is free-spirited, strong, and culturally curious. Key makeup design notes: eyes reigned at Camilla, with Napoleon Perdis creating an earthy spin on a boho smoky eye. Eyeliner (Eye Pencil - Brown Sugar, AU$28) was worked along the lashline and buffed into the socket, matched with a complimentary ...

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for winter to start right now. I’m so keen for a cold snap, I’ve already bought myself a lovely big chocolate cardigan from Zara and OPI have helped me to choose my cool weather nail polish du jour in I Have a Herring Problem, a greeny-blue shot through ...

Nicki Minaj for OPI – Pink Friday & Save Me nail swatches
I just can’t say no to Lifesaver Musk candy pink nail polish. I mean, obviously I can’t say no to a lot of different nail polishes, but I do have a weakness for cartoony pink nail lacquers. Maybe it’s the antidote to my enormous, seemingly unending collection of steely dark greys? Pink Friday from Nicki ...

OPI at NYFW – Road House Blues at Rebecca Taylor
Oh, I love it when I’m oddly prescient when it comes to picking trends. It’s not so much that I’m nifty at trend forecasting but rather that even a stopped clock is right twice a day – OPI’s Road House Blues nail polish is one of my evergreen favourite lacquers, so I was tickled pink to ...

The Hunt for Red October – OPI I’m Not Really A Waitress nail lacquer
The downside of looking at An Iconic Product(tm) is that sometimes there is literally not a word you can say about it that hasn’t been said a thousand times before. Good thing a picture is worth a thousand words, right? No word salad and funny hats from me today. Instead have a snapshot of OPI ...

Nail of the day – diesel-y, chemical-y goodness
I’m somewhat loathe to post this because ell-oh-ell my nails are a rolled gold disaster zone lately. Lawks and lordy be, they are a fright. Nails clipped back to the quick, cuticles that are two steps away from resettling in Argentina and the kind of dehydrated pallor that would make a fishwife take a second ...
